Snoozefest. Literally so boring. None of the players look interested or bothered at all. I know we’re safe and this is a mid table clash but this must be so mind numbing for any other teams fans watching this game.

It would be nice to think the players would want to finish above Palace but unfortunately it doesn’t work like that.

I know this is an end of season match, but **** me that was dull.

Mooy has forgotten to be a footballer recently, and we can't play with him and Gross together, there's just no pace.
I like BDB but his left leg stops working the second he gets into a crossing position.
We need to be more assertive in the final third...and if there's a chance, bloody shoot!

On the plus side, Bissouma has been good (tho I am concerned he is on a yellow) and Stephens has been alright in the middle.

We're crying out for a bit of pace, must be priority in the close season to bring in a wide player who can break the lines. Mooy and Gross in the same team rarely works either.

Not many corners lead to goals statistically, for any team.

Not asking for a goal just a ball that gives the attacker a chance. ****ing Dwight Gayle got his head on one ffs.

Overall OK but why are such an absolute joke from corners. Been pathetic for a long time now.

I don’t remember a single corner that ended up as even an attempt on goal since we came back

Trossard has had two attempts on goal from corners/free kicks where it went to him as last man.

Sounds thinks we should have had a penalty for Ritchie's tangle with Maupay, not sure I agree.

Not a fan of the formation. I agree that Mooy and gross can’t be in the same team. Lamp shows what a full back should do ie bomb forward. I like BDB but he is surely not a prem left back.

In the games since the restart, the last ten against Arsenal, the first twenty against Leicester and when we had already lost against Liverpool seem to be the only times that we have seemed to want to do anything more than just keep the ball. I'd hoped that this was relegation pack nerves, but if it was, it doesn't look like changing this season. Perhaps chuck in MacAllister in attacking midfield. Mooy and Gross was brilliant against Spurs, but doesn't seem to have worked well in any other game.
